NASCAR racing and Olympic bobsledding have some similarities. High speed. Downforce. G-forces. And driving — or steering — skill.

So which NASCAR drivers would make the best four-man bobsled team at the Sochi Winter Olympics?

Ford Racing put that question to four of its top Sprint Cup drivers. Edwards and Roush Fenway Racing teammates Greg Biffle and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. each weighed in, along with Penske Racing’s Joey Logano.

Edwards, one of NASCAR’s strongest and most athletic drivers, is the consensus pick to be the pusher, while some of NASCAR’s smaller drivers likely would be up front steering the sled.

Stenhouse, in fact, has the perfect choice for the pilot, and it should come as no surprise.

“I will definitely take Danica as our front person,” Stenhouse said of his girlfriend and rival driver. “She is super-light and can fit in there perfectly. I think Carl is definitely going to be in the back pushing. We need someone back there that is crazy-strong, so Carl is my pick for that. Throw me in the middle somewhere.”

Four-man teams have two pushers in the back of the sleigh. Stenhouse has a suggestion for the second pusher as well.

“I think my other pick would be Jimmie Johnson,” Stenhouse said. “As much as he does his triathlons, I feel like his legs must be really strong to push, not to mention the guy can obviously steer pretty well. I would go with those three to join me — Danica, Jimmie and Carl. That is a pretty good team, I think.”

Biffle’s choice is rookie driver Kyle Larson in the front, he and Stenhouse in the middle and Edwards in the back.

“I would go with Kyle Larson as the front guy cause we need someone that is small,” Biffle said. “Kyle is the smallest and lightest, and I don’t know if he is fast on his feet but that kid can drive. Kasey Kahne might be a good pick, too. He has the right body type to be that first guy.

“I think that team would have a shot at a gold medal, (but) I just sure as heck don’t want to wreck.”

Logano would pick Edwards, Johnson, and then Tony Stewart because “we need a heavy guy.”

Logano said, however, that he would have to be the pilot because, “I don’t trust anyone else to drive for me.”

Edwards would pair himself with Stenhouse, driver Aric Almirola and crewman Cameron Cobb, the jackman on his pit crew.

He is flattered that everyone is picking him to be the pusher, but he has a slight problem with that.

“The issue is, I wouldn’t ride with any of those guys if they are driving (laughter),” he said.
